Another in the List of Thousands of Reasons Why the Only Response to Calls for more “Gun Control Laws” is “NO.”

Sometimes it’s easy to focus on the fact that government is prohibited from any infringement period (for any citizen who is not in the state’s custody), and forget the more obvious fact that government has already demonstrated that it does not approach the issue in good faith and already violates the law as it applies to its actions with regard to “gun control”.

“BoooOOOOOoo!” (as long as I am an apparition). I really don’t want crazy people and clinically-depressed people to be able to get guns so easily. We keep lousy records, and don’t even transfer the “background checks” to computers. It’s a stupid system, and changes in law could improve it. I have the right to keep my kid safe too, just as much as your right to own a weapon.

1. This society isn’t capable of recognizing insanity any longer, as I point out in the previous post;

2. Laws don’t stop crazy people or criminals, as the spree/mass shootings that have made the news in the last decade + have proved. They do make it harder for law abiding people to address and take responsibility for their own defense;

3. The “law” is in itself, illegal, regardless of the extrajudicial findings of previous courts that say otherwise. “…shall not be infringed.” doesn’t come with an Asterisk, parentheses, or a list of provisos. It was a clear prohibition on the government imposing any “gun control laws”, “reasonable” or otherwise; and

4. If you want government to have that authority, the only lawful way it can be granted is by AMENDMENT…and the reason this hasn’t happened is that it would never be ratified.

"I want these “…and I’m a communist” dumbshits to have a Coming to Jesus moment that they will NEVER forget. I want them staring in to the eyes of every American who knows that government has very specifically designated roles, and are fed-up to their eyeballs with the overeaching, paternalistic, oppressive monster that the Left (with help from the establishment Right) set loose on us. I want those greedy, lazy, control-freaky bastards quaking with fear when they are met with an electorate determined to wrest their liberties, including the right to fail, back from a government that would enslave us all to the service of a soul-killing mediocrity. I want their asses so horrifiyingly and memorably whipped that the mere memory will cow a century’s worth of socialist/communist/marxist acoyltes into an ashamed silence."

"When a strict interpretation of the Constitution, according to the fixed rules which govern the interpretation of laws, is abandoned, and the theoretical opinions of individuals are allowed to control its meaning, we no longer have a Constitution, we are under the government of individual men, who for the time being have power to declare what the Constitution is according to their own views of what it ought to mean."--Justice Curtis, Dissent, Dred Scott v. Sanford

"The very idea of power, and the right of the people to establish government, presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established Government. All obstructions to the execution of its laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberations and actions of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency."- George Washington

The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men.
